Abstract

An internal combustion engine system and method comprises an internal combustion engine adapted to be fueled by a diesel fuel and hydrogen gas, and to emit an exhaust of hot water and hot exhaust gas; a boiler for converting the exhausts from the internal combustion engine to steam; a steam engine adapted to receive the steam from the boiler; an electric generator powered by the steam engine and adapted to generate electric energy; a hydrogen generator powered by the electric generator and adapted to produce hydrogen gas; and conduit means for carrying the hydrogen gas to the internal combustion engine to fuel the engine for further operation; and means for reducing flow of diesel fuel to the internal combustion engine by about 30%, such that the engine runs on the hydrogen gas and the reduced diesel fuel, and the hot water and hot gas produced thereby flow to the boiler for continued operation of a cycle.

Description

Claims (2)

What is claimed is:
1. An internal combustion engine system for fueling an internal combustion engine with diesel fuel and with hydrogen gas, the system comprising:
an internal combustion engine adapted to operate on diesel fuel or on hydrogen gas, and on a combustion thereof;
a hot water radiator adapted to cool said internal combustion engine and to dispense water therefrom;
a gas exhaust for dispensing exhaust gas from said internal combustion engine;
a steam boiler adapted to receive water and exhaust gases from said radiator and said exhaust gases from said internal combustion engine, and producing steam;
a steam engine adapted to receive steam from said boiler and having means for generating electricity;
an electric generator adapted to be driven by said steam engine;
a hydrogen generator powered by said electric generator and adapted to produce hydrogen gas; and
fuel input means adapted (1) to deliver hydrogen gas from said hydrogen generator, and (2) to deliver diesel fuel to said internal combustion engine;
wherein said internal combustion engine is adapted to be initially fueled by the diesel fuel and thereafter to be fueled by a combination of hydrogen gas and diesel fuel.
2. A method for fueling an internal combustion engine with diesel fuel, and with hydrogen gas which is produced from exhausts of the engine, the method comprising the steps of:
starting operation of the internal combustion engine with diesel fuel;
combining hot water and hot exhausts gas from the engine in a steam boiler to provide a steam exhaust;
directing the steam exhausts to a steam engine adapted to drive an electric generator;
providing a hydrogen generator which is driven by electrical power from the electric generator and which is adapted to convert electrical power to hydrogen gas; and
directing the hydrogen gas to the internal combustion engine;
wherein the internal combustion engine is adapted to operate on hydrogen gas fuel and diesel fuel; and
wherein the supply of diesel fuel to the internal combustion engine is reduced by about 30%, such that the internal combustion engine is driven by hydrogen gas and about 30% less diesel fuel, in combination.
